I'm a moron...I just posted this in the chitchat area Photoalbum thread......I should have posted here so I will now to keep it official....

To me...the photo album is one of the best threads on any forum.....however going through the pages there are dozens of random comment posts for every one photo......I still have to go pages back....just to find recent updates and search even harder when I start to notice a members posts more and am curious to find WHO they are....
.....one forum I visit has this format and it's great....one thread with 100% photos.......could/should this be done here?

yes. i am very busy and will be in hell for breakfast if you have any further question.

That doesnt really make much sense.....if rules are laid out...most people will follow them....and those that dont....that's part of why we have moderators.

It's just common sense to me to have a photo only album.....but then again I do obsess over the oddest things.

well the mods went as far as to delete all the non photo posts, but then they wouldnt come around or just did do it, or they themselves would make comments so it just went right out the windo

i think nomad should put in a function so you can search for pictures? or maybe a feature like "search for all attached images by..." the same way we can do it for posts?

Not a bad idea.....and would be better than the situation now.
I had to do this function to a photothread about a year ago....we had over 100 pages....15 posts per page and when I moved everything.....we had 14 pages of pure photos......it took me about 45 min with normal mod toolz and was worth every minute......the members loved it and respected the new rule.

There should just be an "Album" at the top, near the calender and members list. It would probably be a lot of work, but I know Tabcrawler has it. There, we just click on the "Album" button and there we see everyone's photos, just as they uploaded them. If you click on the photo, you see a description and comments other people made about the picture.

(x.x) (> <)Somebody has decapitated an innocent rabbit, can Abbath solve this crime before more innocent bunnies are hurt?

Why the hell did you post the same thing in two threads? It's a damn feedback forum. We're discussing the nature of the thread over in chit chat.

I have two suggestions....

1. on myspace, for example, there is a link in the profile to a page where you may add as many photos as you wish.

2. There are only like 2-5 people who use that thread extensively. Live with it, or you're sol.

Well shit, I click on the last page of this thread and it looked exactly like a photoalbum thread ... and it was entitled "photoalbum" and people were posting photos ... I made a mistake, I'll be more careful

We can give it another try. I could create a new sticky photobook thread and ask moderators to suspend anyone who adds a non-photo post there for one week.

What do you think?

If that were the case, then people should also link to the post they are refering to. Why do pictures really need comments anyway? Most (if not all of the time) they are just:

"Your sexy" or "Show us some skin, def!"

Those are the only comments pictures ever get anyways. And I think we need them.

I wouldn't mind trying it for like week, but yeah....ya'll need to have link in your posts to the attachment picture.

I don't know about everyone else but doesn't this get old: "HOLyy FFUCKING SHIT!1!! YOUR SO HOTT! COM ON, SHOWH US YOU'RE TITS!1!!!1!"

Because thats like 90% of what the comments are anyway

You can just change Bia's and Dame's titles to "OMG SHOW US TITS" and that can delete about 5000 posts that say the same thing

What do you think?

That's what I laid out in the first post in this thread.....and have a link to an example....I love seeing you guys and often get frustrated flipping through dozens of pages searching for photos.......the suspension thing? Well....as a mod we simply deleted superfluous comments in the wrong thread.....and people quickly adjusted.

err....regarding the 'SHOW US YA TITS' thread: (yes i'm aware that i had a few of those comments: )

1. everyone just simply refer to the (locked) "poser friends" thread as to what the majority of metaltabs actually think of bia's breasts.

2. as for dame's, i'm led to believe she's 15, yes? hmm? well, a topless photo would be classed as child pornography am i correct? nomad could get in plenty of trouble for that one. i'm sure you wouldn't like to see our wonderful administrator getting thrown in jail, now would you.

5,431 members...and you and one or two others comment like you....real smart mr "Marority"
You keep dragging shit up....hopping from thread to thread making comments trying to enrage me.
At first...you were upsetting me but after the past few days watching the real members here berate you (they know you too well) I no longer an angered by you but instead amused by your obvious obsession in your attempt at getting others to join your hate march.
Keep it comming....I will no longer flame back at you but instead simply laugh and further help you expose yourself for the child you are.
Love ya little bro!

[EDIT]Also....he was warned to stop what he just did again....but I ask the Admin and Mods to please not suspend him....I can easily handle anything thrown at me.
I had an epiphany last night...I realized I too can be a total ass and immature bitch and dont like the way I see myself when I act that way so I'm no longer going to "react" and try my best to think before flying off the handle.
For my past ignorance....I apologize to all members here that have to put up with this much un needed shit.

Now a warning to all you inbreeds intent on ripping other members to pieces at every opportunity:

NO PERSONAL SHIT

Thems be the rules and may moderators strike down with furious vengeance those who flounce them.
